Rep. Ron Paul's delegates are trying to mount a floor fight over new GOP rules designed to limit the ability of insurgent presidential candidates to amass delegates to future Republican conventions.

This is the second article that I've seen tonight that has used the word "Insurgent" in place of grassroots. Really? "Insurgent" candidate? ARGHH!

The Supreme Court also uses the term as in 2:

Insurgent (Merriam-Webster)
1: a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; especially: a rebel not recognized as a belligerent
2: one who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of one's own political party

edit: It's like 1984 with the way it's use overseas these days, can be used to cast a shadow here at home.

Me too, I was just saying the same thing on another post.

Even if it might be correct under #2 there in Clyde's post, the intention is obvious. They want readers to equate Ron Paul with bad guys, terrorists, the enemy, etc., on a subconscious level.

We are on the same side as people who have had their country over-run by the American government and had their freedoms taken away? How did that happen?

If the people, instead of the establishment, want you, you are 'insurgent'.

Wear it as a badge of honor.

.

That describes all of the other candidates fairly well. When was the last time that they followed the Republican party platform? And since you mentioned the supreme court - does that apply to them as well? Since when have they actually followed the Constitution?

Doesnt that describe the leadership, we are being true...
